Questions & Answers
Dachshunds are a unique breed of dog known for their long, elongated body and short legs. They are often referred to as "weiner dogs" or "sausage dogs" due to their shape and size. While they are good-natured and loyal dogs, the most interesting thing about them is that their ancestors were bred with the purpose of hunting various small game such as rabbits or badgers. This unique feature of Dachshunds makes them a one-of-a-kind pet.
Dachshunds have a variety of coats that differ based on the breed type. Their coats can be short and smooth, long and smooth, or wiry and thick. Short-haired Dachshunds have a sleek, well-groomed coat that requires little maintenance. They have no undercoat and tend to shed and dry quickly. Long-haired Dachshunds have luxurious coats that are surprisingly easy to maintain. However, their coats do require brushing or combing several times a week, and occasional clipping and trimming.
Dachshunds should never be fed any type of chocolate, as this can be toxic and cause organ damage. Additionally, Dachshunds should not be fed onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, or any type of nut. Choking hazards such as popcorn and bones should also be avoided. It's also important that any food provided to the Dachshund is appropriate to the size and weight of the breed; overweight Dachshunds can be prone to back issues, so owners should be sure to provide appropriate portion sizes and foods low in fat.
Depending on your lifestyle, there are some essential items you should consider purchasing before bringing a Dachshund into your home. Invest in a comfortable kennel for nighttime and when you’re away, food and water bowls, and a leash and collar. Finding or designing a bed that's low to the ground will minimize the risk of slipping or jumping off furniture and injuring their back.
Dachshunds are medium-sized dogs, with some variations due to the type of breed or mix. Standard Dachshunds typically measure 8 to 11 inches in height and weigh between 16 and 32 pounds. Miniature Dachshunds generally range from 5 to 7 inches in height and weigh between 8 and 11 pounds. Dwarf Dachshunds, also known as ‘teacup’ Dachshunds, are smaller than their miniature cousins, generally ranging from 2 to 5 inches in height and weighing 4 pounds or less.
You can certainly take your Dachshund running; however, it's important to consider the breed's natural exercise needs before doing so. Generally speaking, a Dachshund is primarily a walking and trotting breed, so if you plan on taking them running, you should first talk to your veterinarian to make sure your pup is physically capable. Additionally, the Dachshund is a short-legged breed and may find running more challenging if it's done over a prolongued distance.
Dachshunds generally get along with other pets, such as cats and other dogs, if introduced gradually and under parental supervision. However, due to their hunting background, some Dachshunds may posses high prey drive and can take longer to accept living with other animals.When introducing them to a new pet, start with quick, supervised meet-ups that are positive and reward based. Teach basic obedience commands to help your Dachshund focus during the introductions. Make sure all pets involved are up to date on their vaccinations.
The exact amount of minutes needed to train a Dachshund every day will depend on a variety of factors, including its age, existing training level, and temperament. However, as a guideline, you should expect to spend at least 15 minutes each day working on basic obedience training and other exercises with the pup. Other activities which should be included each day to ensure optimal training are fun activities such as puzzles, hide-and-seek, play-fighting, fetching a ball, and practicing commands with distractions.
